Twist My Charm series.
When Cleo's eccentric uncle sends her a love potion, the eleven-year-old attempts to win back her ex–best friend Sam by giving the concoction to both Sam and Sam's crush. But her plan has its hiccups, and Sam's crush turns his attention toward Cleo instead, setting in motion a series of amusing misunderstandings. This lighthearted story successfully captures the essence of middle-school relationships.

Twist My Charm series.
Eleven-year-old Cleo struggles to fit in at her new Los Angeles private school, but when she and her best friend use the voodoo doll Cleo receives from her "free spirit" Louisianan uncle to become popular, it leads to one bad thing after another. In this series-starter, Gallagher accurately portrays the emotional experiences of middle schoolers through a unique lens of voodoo and magic.
